Heideggerian Being is treated as immediacy despite being thoroughly mediated.

Evidence

Both entities and thinking were presented as a destiny of Beingan undefined, transitive, pure Being. Being, which precisely in its purity is the exact opposite of pure immediacy, namely something that is mediated through and through and only meaningful in mediations, was assumed to be immediacy per se. — Rolf Wiggershaus, The Frankfurt School, 627

Categorization

• DEEPTHINKING: The paradox of a pure immediacy that is constituted entirely through mediation is the crux of Adorno’s charge; it takes work to unpack and unsettles easy oppositions between immediacy and mediation.
• DEFINE: Clarifies the technical sense of ‘mediation’ and ‘immediacy’ as used in the Frankfurt critique.
